A 39th Birthday - Forever YOUNG

My awesome hubby had his first 39th birthday today. During the schoolyear, we always take the kids' birthdays off and make it a vacation day. Obviously in the summertime, we are off already. But hub's birthday lands in the summer and he works regardless. Not this year!! He took a half-day vacation so we could celebrate! We had a lovely lunch out to eat at a local restaurant, got to enjoy the scorching heat while hanging out down by the river, and then we got to celebrate by going GREEN...

Then we came home and had a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting from the best bakery in town. And, if you are from this area you KNOW where I mean. This was the first time we put the exact number of candles on for one of us parents. So lucky Neil got to huff and puff blowing out all 39! It was so much fun for all of us - the lighting ceremony and all! Hopefully Neil and kids will forget and not remember in April when it's my birthday. ;)

And, when you take 12 pictures of a group shot down by the river really hoping for a nice picture of your handsome husband and beautiful children and only one turns out somewhat presentable, you have to laugh at the outtakes. Enjoy....

++Thank you, God for my husband and best friend!! He loves us all so much and gives himself fully to us. Please bless him abundantly this coming year, and help him feel your presence through all of us.++
